Drivers asked to help with parking lot traffic

<img src="/images/Article/7759.jpg">

School starts in Maple Lake on Tuesday, September 6, and the cooperation of drivers is sought as they travel through the school grounds at Maple Lake Public Schools. Automobile drivers in the school district’s south parking lot are asked to help with the traffic flow by being aware of the traffic patterns. The elementary student drop-off area is separated from the bus drop-off and loading area. Signs are posted in the lot to help direct traffic. The loop in front of the elementary school is a student drop-off/pick-up area. Visitor parking and handicapped accessible parking are available in the loop south of the elementary school entrance. Automobiles exiting the parking lot to Highway 55 may only turn right from 7:45-8:15 a.m. and 2:45-3:15 p.m. to eliminate congestion.

Buses will drop students off in front of the high school in the morning and park diagonally for loading students after school. For the safety of the students, no automobile traffic will be permitted in this area from 7:45-8:15 a.m. and 2:45-3:15 p.m. or any time buses are present.

A student drop-off zone is also available on the west side of the high school. Automobiles using this area to drop off high school students may enter from Congress Street or from the south parking lot, park parallel to drop students off, and return to County Road 8 via George Street. Visitor and handicapped accessible parking are available between doors D and E on the west side of the high school.
